Empowering older adults to live with purpose and dignity
At 2Life, our mission is to ensure that all seniors have the opportunity to thrive regardless of their income level or background. To fulfill that mission, we:
- Plan, design and build affordable, inclusive, supportive spaces where seniors can thrive
- Foster vibrant, inclusive communities that encourage interaction and lifelong learning
- Integrate housing and healthcare to address seniors’ complex health and wellness needs
- Advocate for all seniors by transforming the national conversation about aging
Our resident-centric model
In Massachusetts — and indeed across the country — our aging populations are struggling with economic insecurity, isolation, and loneliness.
2Life has been at the heart of positive change in the affordable senior housing ecosystem since 1965. Our resident-centric approach supports seniors so they can live with purpose and joy in housing they can afford, surrounded by the integrated services they need, and in interconnected, nurturing communities.
Our communities
2Life properties in and around Boston meet the integrated needs primarily of adults age 62 and up. We offer income-based and market-rate rental options.
Step into any of our communities and you will feel warmth, welcome, and connection. People from all backgrounds and cultures are creating a sense of family, experiencing the joy of connection, and living fulfilling lives.
Projects in development
For nearly 60 years, 2Life has developed, owned, and operated vibrant and inclusive communities for older adults. Our level of involvement and depth of commitment mean we make decisions based on what is best for both current residents and those who will live with us decades from now. And we have set the standards for others to follow.
We currently have new projects under way in Lynn, Mattapan, and Waltham. By 2026, we expect to have nearly 2,400 affordable apartments for seniors across 18 Boston-area properties.
Ways to get involved
There are almost limitless ways for you to join the overarching 2Life community, each one helping to ensure that older adults experience the benefits of living in community regardless of income.
Consider making a donation, partnering with us, volunteering, supporting our advocacy work, or simply subscribing to our monthly newsletter to stay on top of our work and the work of others advance affordable housing for seniors.
